The arrest of the suspects followed credible intelligence on elements selling new naira notes to people at event centres, night clubs, hotels and parties without due authorization.

Wuraola and Rukayat were caught with the sum of N1,220,000 while Isa was arrested with the sum of N150,00.
The suspects would soon be charged to court, according to Dele Oyewale, Head of Media and Publicity of the EFCC.
